  4. We've been working on that with tenuo: https://github.com/tenuo-ai/tenuo Task-scoped "warrants", attenuating with delegation, and enforced cryptographically at tool call. Macaroons/Biscuits for agents basically.

  9. Working on this problem: https://github.com/tenuo-ai/tenuo Different angle than policy-as-YAML. We use cryptographic capability tokens (warrants) that travel with the request. The human signs a scoped, time-bound authorization. The tool…

  10. …boundary (verifying at tool call time)? I've been mostly on the delegation side. Working on this at github.com/tenuo-ai/tenuo. Would love to compare approaches. Email in profile?
